I had fun making this ATC. I used the Raven and Tell Tale Heart digital collages from The Octopode Factory Edgar Allan Poe set. I love their quirky stamps.

I distressed my background paper with ink and added a piece of lace. The heart is attached with foam to make it stand up (hard to tell with the scan). The ATC is also embellished with glitter and a metal cog (eye).

I created this card with a rubber stamp called Quasimoto from Stampotique. They have the greatest collection of rubber stamps. Check out the store. The "love" stamp is from PSX. I attempted to follow the sketch from Little Miss Muffet, lol! I don't usually do sketch challenges but this one seemed pretty easy and I love a chance to win Little Miss Muffet digital stamps.

I decided to do another ATC for the last day of the Bloody Valentine Blog Hop. I used a digital stamp called Sewn Heart. It is from the Smeared Ink set called Inner Workings. It's a great set of steampunk type hearts. Check it out!

I painted a toothpick silver to look like a needle and wrapped some red yarn around the heart to look like it really had been pierced. The Edgar Allan Poe is from a collage sheet. The ATC is embellished with silver paint, red nail polish, a silver gear and lace.

I hope you have enjoyed the hop as much as I have. Now it is time to bleed on over to Lady B's Blogger.

For Day Two of the Bloody Valentine Hop, I created an ATC. I used the Quoth the Raven Rubber Stamps from Smeared Ink for my images. Edgar is stamped on a dryer sheet and the heart is stamped on Crayola Magic. This was the first time I used this type of clay for stamping and the image was good but I lost a lot of details when I painted the heart black. It did not wipe off and "antique" the way clay would have. The blood is red nail polish.

I hope you are enjoying the hop. Please beat it to Lady B's blog next.

I created this Valentine card with a stamp called Deacon Wings from Bugaboo. I colored the image with colored pencils and blended with mineral spirits. The card is embellished with glitter and buttons.

For my DT piece this week, I decided to use #265 Framed Zombie Cupid. All the Dilly Bean stamps are so much fun to color it is always hard to narrow down the choices. Check out the Dilly Bean Store for some wonderful stamp designs.

I colored the image with colored pencils and blended with mineral spirits. My photo doesn't show it but the heart in her hand is cut out and mounted on a foam dot for some dimension. I also used glossy accents on her eyes and the skellie and of course there is a little glitter on her wings. I added the words "you make my heart flutter" in Photoshop.
